Dear Family/Friends/All Yall!
This past week was a pretty interesting week! I have been doing a lot of
cleaning, paper work, and phone calls this week. We now can say that the rest of
this transfer (hopefully) will be as normal for a missionary as normal can get.
haha We have now got things updated/up and running for this area and are now
getting things rolling! I totally felt like a clean up/ Mr. Fix it this week
haha But it is all worth it cause since Elder Dalton and I did all of the fixing
and updating, the next set of missionaries DON'T HAVE TO DO IT! Which is how it
should be in the first place.
Ok, now that I am done ranting on the hard work, lets get to the fun stuff
that happend this week! I cannot sent you all any pictures this week cause I
left my Camera with the Albany Zone Leaders (in their Van) last P-Day when we
did our activity and they are all the way in Albany (hour and a half away) and I
won't get it until tomorrow (tuesday) at district meeting!
Last P-Day, we had the awesome chance to go to downtown Albany with the
other Elders in our Zone to a museum and an out look point that viewed our
entire zone! (pictures next week I promise) At the Museum, we got to see things
from 911, seaseme street, historic times, and then the whole reason we went
there, was for the best thing in the Museum......THE FIRST EDITION OF THE BOOK
OF MORMON! We got to see, hold and take pictures of and with the First edition
of the book of mormon! It was the coolest thing ever! It was super old though so
we couldn't hold it too much or it would like ruin it.
I also have to tell you this story, this story is for all of you who LOVE
cheese cake. We were at an investigators house on evening, we were discussing
things about the gospel, when we randomly got onto this tangent on food and then
cheese cake! They told us there was a place in their village ( I live in the
Village of Greenwich they live in the Village of Cambridge) there was this monk
place that sold the best cheese cake in the entire world! This was cheese cake
that was made by nuns who make cheese cake every day and put love and blessings
into it. We thought they were joking, until the next time we stopped by. When we
stopped by last time, they said they had something for us. Lo and behold, there
it was sitting on the table, a box that read, " Raspberry Swirl Cheese Cake-
Made by the Nuns of Cambridge" 0.0 We both could not believe our eyes! They
bought us a half a cheese cake for us so that way we could literally eat the
"Love, Blessings" and "Eat a Piece of Heaven." It was the most amazing cheese
cake I have ever tasted in my entire life! Even though it wasn't cheap, it was
pretty much what they had told us it was!
This last Sunday, we had stake conference. We were told that the way they
do stake conference here is that every other year they go to the stake center
for conference, and the other year they watch a live broadcast of stake
conference. This year it was a live broadcast. Elder Dalton and I both thought,
"Well this is weird, they are going to broadcast stake conference from Albany to
our ward building. weird..." When we got in and the broadcast started, it was a
live broadcast from salt-lake city and that we were the few stakes that were
chosen to watch this stake conference, because the people who were speaking at
the stake conference had special connections to each of the stakes and wards
through Vermont, New York, and England. at the stake conference was Pres. Boyd
K. Packer, Elder L. Tom Perry, 2 others from the presidency of the seventy, and
the relief society president was there as well. This was an amazing time for all
of us and new thing for Elder Dalton and I to experience. It was amazing to hear
from all these people and to hear the wonderful messages they had to share with
us.
I sadly do not have anything to share about what I studied this week. I
have been running around today and forgot my study Journal at
the apartment.
I love you all and promise that things should not be as crazy or rushed as
the past week has been.
Love and blessings,
Elder Anthony Zenger
